OCTOBER 5th 1999:
STEFAN: YOUR RETAINER ARI IS
HERE TO SEE YOU, MOTHER.
ARI: YOUR SON HAS BEEN
SO GRACIOUS, MADAM, TO ALLOW ME
THIS VISIT.
I'VE BEEN SO CONCERNED.
SO SHE CAN HEAR AND UNDERSTAND
WHATEVER I SAY?
STEFAN: YES.
ONLY HER MOTOR SKILLS HAVE BEEN
COMPROMISED.
ARI: MADAM, YOUR SON HAS BEEN
TREMENDOUSLY GENEROUS.
HE'S ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE
MY POSITION TAKING CARE
OF THE YACHT, FOR WHICH I'M VERY
GRATEFUL.
STEFAN: GENEROSITY HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
I NEEDED SOMEONE FAMILIAR
WITH THE CRAFT.
HELENA: OH.
MY SON HAS NO IDEA HOW EFFICIENT
AND LOYAL YOU CAN BE.
---------
HELENA: ARI?
NOW, YOU CAN RETRIEVE THE REST
OF THE INFORMATION FROM MY SAFE.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I NEED
YOU TO DO?
ARI: I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT
RIGHT AWAY.
HELENA: YEAH.
OH, IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE
YOU AGAIN, ARI.
NOW BE SWIFT.
HELENA: OH.
-------------
[DOORBELL RINGS]
ARI: MRS. SPENCER?
LAURA: YES?
ARI: MRS. SPENCER, I WORK
FOR HELENA CASSADINE,
AND SHE WANTED YOU TO HAVE
SOMETHING.
---------------
LAURA: HELENA IS PARALYZED.
SHE COULDN'T POSSIBLY
COMMUNICATE.
ARI: SADLY, YES.
BUT THAT WILL EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING.
-----------------------------------------
OCTOBER 14, 1999
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
ARI: MAY I HELP YOU?
HELENA: WELL, I CERTAINLY
HOPE SO, ARI, MY DEAR.
ARI: MADAM, THANK GOD.
I'VE BEEN SO CONCERNED
FOR YOU SINCE I HEARD
OF MS. BELL'S UNFORTUNATE DEATH.
HELENA: WELL, DON'T BE TOO
UPSET, ARI.
SHE BECAME QUITE TIRESOME
IN THE END.
SHE COULDN'T EVEN CHOOSE
AN ORIGINAL WAY TO DIE.
ARI: WHAT ABOUT YOU, MADAM?
I'VE CALLED, BUT YOUR SON
REFUSES TO ALLOW ME TO VISIT.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FURTHER
INSTRUCTIONS.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO
TO THE POLICE ABOUT THE FILE
I GAVE MRS. SPENCER?
HELENA: SIMPLY REMAIN
ON THE YACHT UNTIL I CONTACT
YOU LATER.
ARI: WHATEVER YOU WISH.
HELENA: ARI,
I DO APPRECIATE YOUR LOYALTY.
AND I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL
RECEIVE AN APPROPRIATE REWARD.
ARI: THANK YOU, MADAM.
HELENA: WELL.
DEAR ARI.
HOW DOES ONE REPAY SUCH
DEVOTION?
--------------------------
FELICIA: WELL, HELLO.
DIDN'T YOU REALIZE THAT WE WERE
WAITING FOR YOU?
ARI: I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE
WERE VISITORS.
FELICIA: OH.
ARI: CAN I HELP YOU?
FELICIA: I AM
MRS. ORPHEY GOODLOVE.
AND THIS IS MY ABSOLUTELY
MARVELOUS DRIVER, HIRAM.
----------------------------
FELICIA: OH, THANK YOU.
I MENTIONED TO MY BROKER THAT
I WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING
A YACHT, AND HE MENTIONED TO ME
THAT THIS VERY SHIP IS GOING
ON SALE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
ARI: I DON'T OWN THE CIRCE,
BUT I'M IN CHARGE HERE,
AND, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE ARE
NO PLANS TO SELL IT.
FELICIA: OH, DEAR.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THERE'S NOT
EVEN THE SLIGHTEST POSSIBILITY
THIS BEAUTIFUL SHIP COULD BE
MY VERY OWN?
ARI: I DIDN'T MEAN TO IMPLY
IT WASN'T POSSIBLE.
MY MISTRESS IS IN POOR HEALTH
AND HER SON COULD HAVE DECIDED
TO SELL WITHOUT INFORMING ME.
LUKE: IT HAPPENS, MADAM.
FELICIA: DIDN'T I TELL YOU,
HIRAM?
IT'S DESTINED TO BECOME MINE.
LUKE: IT WOULD APPEAR SO,
MADAM.
FELICIA: YOU KNOW, IT WOULD
BE VERY HELPFUL TO ME IF I COULD
GO ON A TOUR OF THE BOAT.
I AM SO DETERMINED TO OWN THIS
GLORIOUS VESSEL.
I COULD MAKE SOME PREPLANS
TO DECORATE.
OH.
WELL, WHO KNOWS.
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF UNEMPLOYED
AT THE TIME OF SALE,
PERHAPS YOU COULD STAY
ON AND RUN THE BOAT FOR ME.
[LUKE COUGHS]
FELICIA: NO OFFENSE, HIRAM.
LUKE: NONE TAKEN -- MADAM.
ARI: I'D BE HAPPY TO SHOW
YOU AROUND, MRS. GOODLOVE.
RIGHT THIS WAY.
FELICIA: OH.
FELICIA: THANK YOU, HIRAM.
